community policing

Community Policing is an organization-wide philosophy and management approach practiced by the Boonton Police Department that promotes:

  • Community engagement
  • Community, government and police partnerships
  • Proactive problem solving

Purpose

The purpose of promoting these items is to address the causes of crime, fear of crime and other community issues.

Policing Officers
